9th District Primary Results – Completed with 6 of 6 Districts Reporting
Commentary – 10:45PM – It appears based on preliminary SoTS data that the East Hartford Democrats had a 21% turnout rate and the Republicans a 17% turnout rate.
Commentary – 9:27PM – The voter turnout is looking as low as expected. Worth noting is that each of the Democratic contenders received more votes individually than all three Republican contenders combined. If the Republicans want to have any hope of winning the general they need to figure out how to get their voters to show up at the polls. I’m awaiting the SoTS data which will provide turnout data for each town.
Update – 09:22PM – All 6 precincts are in for the 9th. It’s Rojas with 54% and Thompson with 51%. Congratulation to both candidates.

Update – 09:15PM – With 3 districts reporting the margin has narrowed significantly for Rojas from 82% in favor to 53% in favor. Thompson has also lost a bit of his lead to Brenner and Crockett. The SOTS results data seems to be funky so I won’t share that at this time.

9th Assembly District Democratic Convention
Last Tuesday was the Democratic Convention for the 9th Assembly district candidate. It’s about time I posted the video up here. As you probably already know East Hartford’s Jason Rojas, a current councilman, received the party nod to the displeasure of his opponent Manchester’s Joseph Hachey.
As you’ll see in Hachey’s speech in the last video he vowed to force a primary.
I’m disappointed to hear that Rojas and Hachey had a debate not too long ago that I didn’t know about. I would liked to have heard it.
Chris Stone started off the night with a short speech to mark the end of his career as the 9th District incumbent.
